Chapter 500: Nothing is Set in Stone

In San Francisco, Jack and his men tracked down Sheriff Andrews.

And through various means, they learned the truth from his mouth.

Just as they intended to take Andrews away, he was sniped by Xiaofu.

This infuriated Jack, but after a chase, Xiaofu still managed to escape.

Since Xiaofu knew that a guy like Jack might also be a dirty cop, he specifically made a call back: "Agent Crawford!"

"Who are you?" Jack was in a foul mood now and did not speak politely.

Xiaofu did not mind and said indifferently, "I'm here to give you a tip!"

"A tip?" Jack immediately thought of something: "Was that cop at the restaurant entrance your doing?"

"He deserved to die!" Xiaofu said with a smile, "I just helped you do what you wanted to do!"

"How the f*** do you know... what I want to do?" Jack asked immediately.

Xiaofu smiled and said, "I can see it in your eyes, Jack: pain, anger, loneliness!"

Jack said unpleasantly, "I have a suggestion: how about I book you an appointment with a psychiatrist?"

"Do you want to know where the Golden Horse went?"

"What place?"

"The Zhang Family's Warehouse No. 16, within an hour!" After teasing Jack enough, Xiaofu hung up the phone directly.

Jack dared not delay; he immediately called his men to go to the court to get a Shouchaling, while he led a group of people directly to Marin County.

At this moment, at the entrance of Warehouse No. 16.

Zhang Li was preparing to take back his own Golden Horse; he had waited for this day for a very long time.

But unexpectedly, just as he got out of the car, the sound of police sirens came from outside.

Jack stepped out of the car and said to the grim-faced Zhang Li and Di Wu, "What, not happy to see us?"

Di Wu said coldly, "This is private property!"

The Deputy Captain took out the Shouchaling and said with a grin, "We've received the invitation; we're here to attend the party!"

Zhang Li snatched the Shouchaling and looked at it carefully; there was indeed no problem.

Jack sneered and said, "Zhang Li, you're still putting on the act of a respectable businessman!"

Zhang Li said coldly, "How are you talking? Don't forget who you're talking to!"

Jack and the Deputy Captain immediately laughed; they did not take this level of threat seriously.

Jack said to Zhang Li sternly, "Open the door, I said open that damn door!"

Zhang Li was helpless; he did not want to get into a firefight with the FBI under these circumstances.

He could only look grim as he had people open the warehouse gate.

But after the door was opened, it was Jack's turn to be dumbfounded.

Because the warehouse was completely empty; there was nothing there, only Xiaofu standing there as if waiting for him to arrive.

Jack was furious and drew his Handgun, intending to kill Xiaofu, but was dissuaded by his Deputy Captain.

They had been played for fools on this trip, which made Jack extremely angry.

Zhang Li laughed out loud on the spot, his schadenfreude plain to see! "We're not done with this!" Jack left a harsh threat for Xiaofu before leaving directly.

Back at Zhang Li's mansion, Zhang Li was particularly smug and said to Xiaofu with a smile, "How did you know the FBI would come?"

"Experience!" Xiaofu just smiled faintly and spat out these two words.

"You've impressed me once again, friend!" Zhang Li seemed very satisfied with Xiaofu's performance: "You've seen it too, the FBI is already watching us! But screw it, I believe you must have settled the goods!"

"The goods are very safe!" Xiaofu nodded and said.

Hearing Xiaofu's affirmation, Zhang Li nodded and said, "Very good, I still have many things for you to do! I think you'd better stay at my house for a while to protect our safety!"

Xiaofu stood up and nodded, saying, "Understood!"

Just as he was about to leave the office, Zhang Li suddenly called him back: "By the way, Roger, this guy named Crawford is very troublesome, you should be careful."

"He's just wasting his effort!" Xiaofu said with a dismissive smile.

Then he pushed open the door and left Zhang Li's office.

The move he pulled not only played Jack for a fool but also earned Zhang Li's appreciation.

It could be considered that the preliminary work had been completed.

So he dialed Chen Jiajun's number directly: "Boss, the matter is done. I have gained Zhang Li's trust, and he intends for me to personally protect his safety."

Chen Jiajun immediately revealed a smile and said, "Not bad, Xiaofu! Your acting skills have improved quite a bit recently!"

"The identity of Roger is not difficult to play," Xiaofu said with a smile, "Are you really prepared to sell the Numbers Gang and the Yamaguchi-gumi to the Huaqing Gang?"

Chen Jiajun said indifferently, "I do have that idea, but the specifics will depend on your operation! Don't let me down!"

Xiaofu said quite confidently, "Of course, no problem! The two gangs are already at odds like fire and water; as long as there is a little provocation, they will explode like a powder keg!"

"Very good, then I'll leave the operation to you!" After saying this, Chen Jiajun hung up the phone.

The Zhang Family seemed very resistant to the appearance of a strange bodyguard.

Although Xiaofu was arranged by Zhang Li, the Zhang Family did not welcome him.

Not only did Zhang Li's wife, Maria, come over to warn him, but Di Wu was also very unhappy about Xiaofu's appearance.

He felt that Xiaofu was going to replace his role here with Zhang Li.

So Di Wu found Xiaofu directly and said coldly, "Don't think I don't know what you're doing! Mr. Zhang might treat you as one of his own now, but the boss here is still me!"

Xiaofu, however, did not care at all and chuckled, saying to Di Wu, "Nothing is set in stone!"

As he spoke, he pulled out the Handgun placed under the magazine, tucked it back into his waistband, and turned to leave.

Di Wu froze in place; he could feel that if he had dared to do anything to Xiaofu just now, Xiaofu would definitely have shot him dead!

"Damn it, loser, this lunatic!" Di Wu's hands trembled slightly as he lit a cigarette for himself.

……

After changing shifts with Di Wu, Xiaofu returned home to change his outfit.

To be precise, it was a motorcycle suit from Japan.

Compared to Di Wu, his younger brother Di Wen was just a brainless thug.

If one wanted to provoke a fight between the Zhang Family and the Yamaguchi-gumi, this guy was the best breakthrough point.

Therefore, Xiaofu set his sights on Di Wen.

After getting on his motorcycle, he went straight to the Bar where Di Wen often hung out.

This was also the territory of the Number Gang, where a group of thugs sat at the entrance with beers, acting unscrupulously.

Xiaofu parked his bike right at the entrance of the Bar, revved the throttle twice to attract the attention of the Number Gang underlings, and then made an obscene gesture at Di Wen.

The Number Gang, already at odds with the Yamaguchi-gumi like fire and water, exploded on the spot.

Xiaofu laughed triumphantly and slammed on the throttle, speeding away. "Damn it, you little Japanese devil!"

"Kill him!"

"Don't let the little devil get away!"

"Get him!"

The members of the Number Gang cursed one after another, hopped on their motorcycles, and gave chase to Xiaofu with all their might...

Xiaofu deliberately kept his speed down, letting the two sides maintain a certain distance.

It was close enough that he wouldn't be caught by those behind him, yet far enough to let these hot-headed gangsters keep up.

Soon, under Xiaofu's lead, the group charged into the territory of the Yamaguchi-gumi.

Xiaofu quickly said in Japanese to the Yamaguchi-gumi members by the roadside: "The Number Gang is here!"

Then he sped away, and through his rearview mirror, he saw that the Number Gang and the Yamaguchi-gumi had indeed started fighting.

Although Di Wen didn't have much of a brain, his combat prowess was truly no joke.

There were only four or five people on the Number Gang's side, while the Yamaguchi-gumi had over a dozen guys armed with clubs and Samurai Swords.

Yet, led by Di Wen, they were still beaten into a steady retreat.

"Screw you, you little devil!" Facing the Yamaguchi-gumi, Di Wen seemed to have a buff, using a baseball bat to make these Yamaguchi-gumi members cry for their parents.

The dozen or so people were soon left lying on the ground, constantly wailing.

Xiaofu, who was observing from the shadows, shook his head; he had originally wanted to wait for both sides to suffer heavy losses before stepping in to pick up the scraps.

He just hadn't expected these Yamaguchi-gumi members to be so useless.

In terms of street fighting, they were simply no match for these Number Gang members.

Helpless, Xiaofu had to take action himself, drawing his gun and shooting down two Number Gang thugs.

As soon as the gunshot rang out, Di Wen immediately sensed something was wrong and took off running toward the complex area of the abandoned construction site.

He didn't want to become a target in an open area.

On the abandoned construction site, there were cement pipe piles everywhere, used for piling.

But now, this was the best cover for Di Wen.

He moved quickly through the cement pipe piles, intending to leave this place and gather more men.

At this moment, he finally realized he had fallen into a trap.

Unfortunately, Xiaofu would not give him that chance, watching as Di Wen ran headlong.

Xiaofu jumped onto a cement pipe pile, leaped down from a gap, picked up the motorcycle helmet in his hand, and gave Di Wen a fierce blow.

Di Wen was instantly dazed, and through the dim light, he saw the face of the attacker—it was Xiaofu himself.

Di Wen was instantly enraged: "You damn bastard, I knew it, you damn can't be trusted!"

Xiaofu chased after him and stepped on Di Wen's ankle, causing him to let out a scream.

However, this guy was tough enough; he dragged his severely injured leg and fled again.

But by the time he emerged from the area where the cement pipe piles were stacked, Xiaofu had long been waiting there again.

Before he could react, Xiaofu pinned him against a cement pipe pile, picked up a Samurai Sword left behind by a Yamaguchi-gumi member on the ground, and stabbed it directly into Di Wen's chest, pinning him dead on the spot.

After finishing off Di Wen, Xiaofu turned and left.

The next day, Di Wen's body was discovered at the construction site, and the police were called.

Because this was the territory of the Yamaguchi-gumi, the FBI intervened directly in the investigation.

Jack's team also arrived at the scene immediately; seeing the scene before him, Jack said to the Deputy Captain: "Hard to understand, isn't it?"

The Deputy Captain nodded: "This sword has the logo of Liangchuan Enterprise on it!"

"What will happen now?" the rookie asked, stunned.

Jack bit on a toothpick and said indifferently: "Get ready for a war to break out!"

The news of Di Wen soon reached the Zhang Family.

Di Wu found Zhang Li immediately, demanding that Zhang Li launch a counterattack.

Zhang Li did not want to cause trouble at this time and said to Di Wu: "The situation outside is very tense right now; if we strike back now, the risk is too great!"

Di Wu was instantly enraged and spoke without thinking: "If it were your family, what would you do?"

Zhang Li immediately turned around with a dark face and said: "What the hell are you saying? Have you forgotten? Wasn't it my family that was wiped out before? I treat A Wen like my own son; this grudge must be avenged, but you must learn patience! I do not allow my family to take any risks, and I do not allow you to act rashly! Do you understand?"

After hearing this, Di Wu could only suppress his anger, nod, and turn to walk out.

The conversation between the two was overheard by Xiaofu, who had just come to take over his shift.

He had not expected that Zhang Li could be so patient, not taking action even when a high-level member of his own organization was clearly killed by the Yamaguchi-gumi.

It seemed that he would have to change his strategy.

Seeing Xiaofu walk out, Zhang Li sighed and said to Xiaofu: "Silang knows his end is coming soon! One thing is certain: before that, there are more blood debts to be repaid!"

"Roger, I need you to guarantee the safety of my wife and children!"

Xiaofu sneered inwardly; as the Leader of the Number Gang, Zhang Li was truly not very qualified—he was only suited to be a businessman, not a gang boss.

His forbearance and his calculations were all arranged by Liangchuan Shiro; no wonder the Zhang Family was being completely devoured by the Yamaguchi-gumi.

However, facing Zhang Li's words, Xiaofu still nodded and said, "They will be safe and sound!"

Di Wu, whose younger brother had died, felt irritable and wanted to smoke a cigarette.

But after searching his entire body, he could not find a lighter.

At this moment, Xiaofu walked out of the mansion, looked at Di Wu, and said indifferently, "A man cannot lose his dignity, nor the dignity of his family!"

Afterwards, Xiaofu took out a box of matches and lit the cigarette for Di Wu.

After lighting the cigarette, Xiaofu handed the matches in his hand to Di Wu and said with a smile, "Take them, I don't smoke!"

Having said that, Xiaofu got straight into his sports car and drove away.

Looking at the matches in his hand, which had the address of Chayu Tea House clearly written on them in Japanese, Di Wu immediately fell into deep thought.

Seeing Di Wu's appearance in the rearview mirror, Xiaofu could not help but reveal a smile.

Based on the Information Department's research on the two brothers Di Wen and Di Wu, Xiaofu knew they were the more traditional type of gangsters.

What they valued was the gratification of "an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth."

As for the methods of Zhang Li, who was half a businessman, they would certainly conflict with Di Wu.

He only needed to incite them to fight amongst themselves so that Liangchuan Shiro would have an opportunity to exploit.

When the time came, Xiaofu only needed to take care of Liangchuan Shiro, and the Zhang Family of the Number Gang and the Liangchuan Group of the United States Yamaguchi-gumi would both directly collapse; not only could he avenge his childhood friend, but he could also complete the mission given by Chen Jiajun, which counted as killing two birds with one stone.

Moreover, the Number Gang and the Yamaguchi-gumi were not good things either; they were standard criminal organizations, and taking them out did not violate the regulations of the Killer Fund. (End of chapter)
